Regaining my pinterest

It's been a bit quiet around here lately. Mainly this is because I get to the point in the evening when I'm finished with work I've brought home and think "Too late to start painting now." My solution? Get out the knives, files, clippers, wire and glue... and dive into the bits box to make a monstrosity!

Inspired by the cut'n'shunt mastery of John Blanche and Dale Hurst and the outlandishly chaotic results that followed, I thought a Tzeentchian demon or unaligned gribbly would be the best place to start. Much putty will be added, but for now it's just metal pieces held together with pins. Many pins.

"With some imaginative interpretation of its attributes, I ended up with avery strange-looking creature." Dale Hurst

So far, it is unnamed but suggestions are very welcome! Can you name all five miniatures that donated parts to bring this monster into being?

Just the right kind of conversion ! Fancy creepy bits all added into an elegant monster ! i'm afarid I can only recognise 2 of the bits I'm afraid (probably due to my brains melting under the sun). Really good dynamic to that one !

The red faced pirate looks excellent, that war paint makes him look menacing as needed.Tel those orc and goblin to behave if they want to get finished at some point, otherwise it's acetone time !

Yup, Zynox is a brute of a miniature - he is the captain of my Chaos Pact team Moloch's Malefactors who incidentally need a run out soon. The spare legs (in a bag of bits from an ebay lot) were just crying out to be used!

About Me

The escapist hobby of my teenage years has resurfaced as a way for my adult self to relax and be creative after all the important parts of my day have been addressed. Nostalgia for the simplicity of my youth is undoubtedly a part of it!
